not asking for, $7 trillion, just to give you a sense, over ten years, that's more than our entire defense budget, and you think that by closing loopholes and deductions for the well-to-do, somehow you will not end up picking up the tab, then governor romney's plan may work for you. but i think math, common sense, and our history shows us that's not a recipe for job growth. look, we've tried this -- we've tried both approaches. the approach that governor romney's talking about is the same sales pitch that was made in 2001 and 2003. and we ended up with the slowest job growth in 50 years. we ended up moving from surplus to deficits. and it all culminated in the worst financial crisis since the great depression. bill clinton tried the approach that i'm talking about. we creatd 23 million new jobs, we went from deficit to surplus, and businesses did very well. so in some ways, we've got some data on which approach is more likely to create jobs and opportunity for americans, and i believe that the economy works best when middle class families are getting tax breaks, so that they've got some mo

the demeanor of the president was tired exhausted, defense. the president -- my daughter who is 2,000% in barack obama's camp said he looked like a tired pup by dog tonight. i have done these ten things in the last four years to save this nation. he never said it. he didn't mention the auto bailout until the last 30 seconds. i'm just mystified at the lack of energy passion and precision in his answers. >> john: we saw the president take a lot of punches tonight. i couldn't believe how he just kept taking the punches over and over again, i think john kerry might be enjoying the engineer of his second term right now. and folks at home you have know idea what it was like watching the debates with these folks here. however, i don't necessarily think this is a bad thing. i think barack obama was trying to play out of the john mccainhand book, be cool, and restained. what you saw tonight was that approach didn't work and you will see a different strategy the next debate. >> eliot: mitt romney finally cut back to the middle. he wasn't the radical far

the governor looked to put the president on the defensive. they think that was accomplished here tonight. also, you heard governor romney right out of the gate come out here and talk about a woman that he met on the trail in a last couple of days, talking about economic hardship. that was another hurdle that romney tried to cross, connecting with average problems facing americans, not a surprise that he talked about women on the trail and in key states, key battleground states, what they believe that as you mentioned, george, no knockout punch here tonight, but it was a strong performance from the governor when he needed it most. >> all right, david and jake, thank you. and we're going to take a quick break, but you've been asking us to fact check some of the numbers we heard tonight, some of the conflicting opinions, conflicting debate points. we're going to do just that, take the big three when we come back. e in this debate. let's go to jonathan karl, who is standing by. he's been standing sentry over these facts tonight. take the big two

obama spent a lot of time on the defensive. however, i don't think we've got any new specifics from either candidate tonight. mitt romney talked about the goals that he has articulated and he articulated in the convention speech. president obama did the same thing. i don't think anyone put new policy on the table tonight. >> one thing i'll say though on this point, we covered the convention in tampa bay. i was very unhappy with romney after that whole 45 minute speech he gave there were 200 words on the economy. here's the deal. i now believe, i now believe that romney is absolutely committed to pro growth tax reform. so lower the rates and broaden the base, create incentives and cover revenues. >> he said it many times. >> i also now believe he is going to roll up his sleeves and negotiate a deal. that's how important he thinks it is. i didn't know this before. and i hadn't heard it at the convention. >> let's talk about where the truth telling was and where it wasn't. so were the candidates telling the truth tonight all the t
